About this work

Jupiter rides in his triumphal chariot in the sky, drawn by two peacocks. On the chariot are the zodiac signs Pisces and Sagittarius. The people on earth are secular or ecclesiastical rulers. An emperor is crowned by the pope, who is surrounded by cardinals and bishops. To the left, a judge on his throne. In the background, hunting is taking place. At the top, a four-line verse in German.
